The fair is in the Battlefords, Saskatchewan so it means it's Spudnut time from the Rotary Club booth.

I made baguettes for the Grey Cup and they turned out great. I misplaced the recipe, I'll have to find it and make these again. It was a two day process and ingredients were. 3 1/2 flour, 1 TSP instant yeast, 2 TSP salt, 1 tbsp honey.

Did some ribs on the charcoal BBQ this weekend and they turned out great. Smoky and tender.

This turned out amazing. I used fresh broccoli, not frozen, which was nice because it had a nice little crunch to it. Using frozen I think it would've felt to mushy. Some crispy bacon would be such a great addition. The recipe I used is at the link below.

Made this crispy fried sandwich the other day. Pick your protein, I used tofu because I had it haha. Bottom up: bread, Aoli, tomatoes, Alberta lettuce, breaded and fried protein, sriacha, bread.

It's short order but I highly recommend making use of the VIA rail Canada Strong Pass before it expires September second. We used it to travel on the Skeena from Jasper to Prince Rupert (overnights are in Prince George). We had one day in Prince Rupert, their first good day of the year in Canada's rainiest city, and it was amazing. The train ride is stunning, the return trip was just as stunning, it felt like a new trip. We thought we'd get card games or reading in, but we were glued to the windows. It's so clean, spacious and freeing to walk around during the trip. Our attendant during the trip both ways was Moun, and he was wonderful! Sign up for the reward points before you book. Earn them and save for future trips, they seem to add up quickly or you can donate them to other members - I mean send them my way if you won't use them haha. It was our first VIA trip and we are hooked and cannot wait for our next one. That said VIA needs some serious expansion out west.

Let's have a fediverse contingent repping Sask vs Calgary!

I made something really different this evening, broccoli loaf. It's very light, and mild tasting. I think it would be amazing as grilled cheese and dipped into tomato soup.

Made some lentil crunch wrap supremes this past week. They turned out amazing I will be making these a few times this spring and summer.

I always forget about #Inkscape extensions. Checkout this handy #tutorial on #PeerTube about adding extensions.

I made smashed lentil tacos and wow they were great! First I sauteed finely diced onion, red pepper, mushrooms and garlic. Then I combined them with a can of lentils, taco seasoning, ketchup, light soy sauce and blended oats. It looked very much like taco seasoned ground beef. Then I formed a ball of the lentils on the wrapped and pressed it until flat, then cooked in a fry pan on both sides. I made a dip it was an avocado, plain yogurt, cloves of garlic, lime juice and parsley. Blend until smooth. Full of flavour, extremely light on the wallet and I'm looking forward to having these again soon.

Made Napolitano style pizza dough for pizza night at home. The closer pizza has a pesto sauce with bacon, tomatoes and mozzarella. The further one is a simple tomato sauce with ground beef and sausage, tomatoes, mozza and topped with basil

This looks pretty awesome.

With the tariff threats and bird flu impacting American mega bird farms and driving prices up for them, I'm curious. Has Schadenfreude and more affordable eggs in Canada increased our typical egg consumption? Anyone know where such stats would be found?

The Town of Battleford flooded some paths in their Kramer campground for skating! It looks amazing and looks like they left some wood at a firepit for people to warn up at.
